Mate, read the room. Tone deaf posts like this are a good reason why people hate vegans. And this is coming from a fellow vegan. Palestine isn't going to avoid famine by switching to vegan now; that's completely insane! And it would still be starving even it was 100% vegan, due to, you know, a fucking genocide happening.

Thank you, Mr. Tone Policeman

You're welcome, but it was mostly about a shit argument, not as much about tone.

The first problem is that I posted the comment on the wrong thread. There was a different one next to it about farm business owner protests in the EU.

The second problem is that nobody noticed that the quote in my comment isn't from this article about Gaza, which means that none of the people who replied to me read the article.

WTF are you even talking about? Your comment I answered to was this, which contains no quotes.

The only problem here is that you made a dumb mistake, refuse to own up to it and move on, and instead insist that everyone else is talking out of their arse.

Edit: fixed link to comment

Hey, uh, this is awkward but you linked my post? I totally agree though, this VeganPizza guy picked the wrong thread for this stuff.

You're right. I fixed it now but it seems that all the links next to the comment are broken in this thread, for me at least. The links next to the name point to different comments in the thread. Maybe a Lemmy bug
